Past midnight the silence shifts

Something deeper fills the air

Every second slowly drifts

Like the dark is saying prayer

Hands open on my knees tonight

I don’t move, I let it be

Like the night is wide awake

Watching over quietly

So I wait

While the dark waits

Maybe heaven leaned tonight

Closer than it ever does

One small hour in this dark

Worth more than a thousand months

Air got heavy in my lungs

Like the sky came down somehow

If mercy’s moving through the dark

Let it find this stubborn one

Street outside already asleep

Pale light falling on the floor

Every breath comes slow and deep

Like the world forgot the clock

All the noise I dragged all day

Falls away without a sound

Like the dark is clearing space

For whatever’s coming down

So I wait

Till the light breaks

Maybe heaven leaned tonight

Closer than it ever does

One small hour in this dark

Worth more than a thousand months

Air got heavy in my lungs

Like the sky came down somehow

If mercy’s moving through the dark

Let it find this stubborn one!

If the sky leans close tonight

I won’t try to understand

I’ll just sit here in this room

With open breath and open hands

Maybe heaven leaned tonight

Closer than it ever does

One small hour in this dark

Worth more than a thousand months

Every breath feels slow and wide

Like the night has just begun

If mercy’s drifting through the dark

Let it find this stubborn one...
